Arnold Schönberg im Fokus. Fotografien 1880–1950

16 November 2016 - 19 March 2017

An exhibition as an open archive: 3,500 historic photographs surviving in Schönberg's archive illuminate the medium's development, providing an authentic and moving view of the artist, paterfamilias, friend and contemporary. A cultural and quotidian history in images: Visitors accompany Schönberg on his travels, encounter him in his private apartments, take part in his life full of checkered history.

A variety of photographical objects: Prints from the photo shop and large-format artist's enlargements are found among family albums and cameras from Schönberg's time.
